Hezbollah or Hizbullah[1] (Arabic ‮حزب الله‬, meaning Party of God) is a Lebanese Islamist group, with a military arm and a civilian arm, founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah is regarded by some in the Arab and Muslim worlds, such as the Iranian and Syrian governments, as a legitimate resistance movement and is a recognized political party in Lebanon, where it has participated in government.

However, as it initiates attacks against civilians in Israel and worldwide (such as the attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires) and ideologically supports such attacks by other organizations, such as Islamic Jihad and Hamas, several international organizations, including the EU, and many governments, including the United States, have designated it a terrorist organization(*).

Hezbollah is just a surrogate for Iran. They are attacking Israel right now to draw attention from the G8 Summit this weekend. The G8 Summit had the Iranian Nuclear Program was on the agenda.

I think Iran got more than they planned because Israel is not going to stop until Hezbollah is effectively eliminated as a fighting force.

Hezbollah or Hizbullah, (meaning Party of God) is a Lebanese Islamist group, with a military arm and a civilian arm, founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon.

Along with the Amal movement, Hezbollah is the main political party representing the Shia community, Lebanon's largest religious bloc. Founded with the aid of Iran and funded by it, it follows the distinctly Shiite Islamist ideology developed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It calls for the establishment of an Islamic state in Lebanon, on the principle of sovereignty of the jurisconsult, although recognizing that this could only come about with the consensus of the Lebanese people.

The civilian wing of Hezbollah runs hospitals, news services, and educational facilities and participates in the Lebanese Parliament. Its Reconstruction Campaign (Jihad al-Bina) is responsible for numerous economic and infrastructural development projects in Shia-populated areas of Lebanon.

Hezbollah is regarded by some in the Arab and Muslim worlds, such as the Iranian and Syrian governments, as a legitimate resistance movement and is a recognized political party in Lebanon, where it has participated in government.

However, as it initiates attacks against civilians in Israel and worldwide (such as the attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires) and ideologically supports such attacks by other organizations, such as Islamic Jihad and Hamas, several international organizations, including the EU, and many governments, including the United States, have designated it a terrorist organization(*).

On March 10, 2005, the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution that stated `Parliament considers that clear evidence exists of terrorist activities on the part of Hezbollah and that the EU Council should take all necessary steps to curtail them.'

This organization is headed by Hassan Nasrallah.

The Hezbollah ("Party of Allah") is an anti-Semitic cult worth hundres of millions of $$ thanks to support from Iran and Syria. The Hezbollah is the main power in Lebanon.

Lebanon is conducting a rocket war against northern and central Israel, which has killed many and wounded hundreds. And they are holding two Israeli soldiers hostage.

Lebanon has another 12,000 missiles pointed at Israeli towns right now

and they also finance attacks on Jews out of Gaza and Judea/Samaria.

certain. Iran is pulling the strings on their islamofascist terrorist puppets in an attempt to initiate a more desirable warfare because Bush will be out of power quickly and Iran sees Obama as a achievable best buddy.
